Short Sales Short sales are real estate transactions in which the sales price is less than the balance owed on the property’s closing costs and mortgage. It is the lender who makes the decision to sell the property for less than the amount owed, and the lender does so by accepting the available equity with the agreement that the seller receives no proceeds from the sale. Short sales require close coordination with lenders and e-escrows has completed hundreds of these sales.
